EXACTLY this show's he thinks this election is about the country, the world, and not him! He is not a narcissist (unlike...), he has put the nation above his own ambition. He is a TRUE American hero.

When someone has made a profound statement, Katy Tur needs to just say thank you.

[Patrece-ibtj]

I continue to appreciate Jon Meacham's comments with the equal dignity to honor President Biden's life of service. Please continue to access Meacham's experience of wisdom and choose carefully what to believe on all news medial as well as social media. The lack of reporting and the emotional hype is a disgrace.
